From reliable sources: Jay throws a hell of a Pre-OSH party at a certain Inn
(@ IOW).
.....of which I have yet to see one left-over brat, BTW!
In the N40 (@ OSH) Jay has been relegated to walking around with a beer in
his hand - greeting guests. We'd call him "The Greeter," but that one is
used by Wally-World.
So, Jay's N40 title is: "Host"
(Job description: beer - some sitting - much schmoozing - watch
departures - beer - fud - beer - schmooze - sit - watch departures -
schmooze - pictures - beer - sit - fud - beer - schmooze - snooze)
Jim Burns and Montblack have promoted themselves to "Assistant Hosts" for
this years N40 Party.
Montblack
"So it's ...beer, fud, sit, fud, beer...?"
"No, no, no! You forgot schmooze. Again, from the top."
"This is harder than it looks. Let's see, ...beer, fud, sit, schmooze...?"
"Better. Again."
